Year 5/6 Blogpost 15.10.26

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Happy Friday one and all. We hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to October half term next week. It's hard to believe that we have been learning for 7 weeks - we have crammed so much in this term!
As the weather is continuing to cool and provide us with free showers, could we please request that you provide the children with suitable school uniform and added layers for when we go out to play and learn. A coat is now a must! 

WORLD FOOD DAY

What a day we had in school! It was wonderful cooking with all the children and trying out so many foods. Please check out our school newsletter for all the action!

HARVEST FESTIVAL

Please continue to bring your donations into school.

With grateful thanks.

• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it.
• Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down.
• Times table practice - next week we are looking at 7's. Please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook. The best way to learn is to repeat them out loud.

• TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. We do set tasks for the children to complete. There are also school, county and nationwide contests from time to time. Please see your old reading diaries for login details or message your class teacher using Dojo.

We hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs Hurley and Miss Harvey
